Ahhhh....the weekend. It was VERY productive. As I blog, FedEx is whisking the galleys up to New York. I am done, done, done with I So Don't Do Mysteries! Which I'm glad about. I am. Really. Truly. Really. It's time to let go. Time to move on. I know it.
Yes, the Postal Annex man had to pry the package out of my hands. Just a little last-minute panic before I sent my baby out into the world. How many commas did I miss? Couldn't I have tweaked such and such a metaphor? Was Sherry wearing too much makeup in the last chapter? All I can say is--please be kind to her. And friendly and understanding. Please show her some love.
On a technical note: the font is Officina Serif. I usually prefer a plumper font, but this one fits the book perfectly.
Back to book #2 in the a.m.
Have a great day!

Before I leave you all for a weekend of fun with my current manuscript, my very cute galleys, my Flip dictionary and my Oxford American Writer's Thesaurus (See! I really am a girl who knows how to have a good time!), here are the latest photos of our veiled chameleons.
The female has shed yet again. She's quite the little lardette compared to the male. Not to panic anyone, but the future of veiled chameleons in this particular cage lies with these two reptiles.
Someone needs to have a serious chat with the female about the birds and the bees and the Golden Rule. Reproductively speaking, it may be unwise of her to hog the crickets and hiss at the male when he wants to eat. Because, at some point, she'll be ready to procreate. And he's her only choice.
For this Family Life chat, I nominate Child #2. After all, it was his brilliant idea to breed veiled chameleons. He's the one who plans to get rich (or at least keep himself well stocked in candy) by selling baby chameleons to pet stores.
So, good luck Child #2 with your first foray into parenting and THE talk.
Have a great weekend, everyone! Bonne fin de semaine!
